A Muslim Journey to Hope
"A Muslim Journey to Hope“ presents the true stories of people who have had a life-changing experience. Each story is true, and each story is different.

Poverty Cure: Rethinking Charity and Impacting the Poor
For me, donating items (most often in the form of school supplies, toiletries, food, and clothing) and making monetary contributions to different organizations or funds that support those less fortunate than us is something my family and I do because as Christians we are called to help others. It’s an essential part of our faith.

Healing Promises from God
While most people today accept disease and death as “normal” parts of life, they were never God’s original intention. When the world was first created, the Bible records, “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).

Our New Love Language
After 36 years of marriage and four children, love lost its luster.
“Maybe we never knew what love was in the first place,” confesses Rudy. “I guess I thought love was fun, sex, and money. The rest of the time, I just took love for granted or didn’t think about it at all. God let me go through a very hard time to teach me about His love, so I could know that love IS the living Jesus in me.”……
Compromise
It came about, as though it had been a trivial thing … that he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went to serve Baal and worshiped him.—1 Kings 16:31 NASB
Phoenicians are remembered as the inventors of a uniform alphabet and masters of the sea. This explosion of influence took place around the twelfth century BC following the decline of some other major…
Darryl Strawberry: From the Diamond to the Pulpit (Part 2)
John Farrell: Are there any other lessons you learned from your time on the baseball diamond or by just being around the game of baseball that helped better prepare you for who you are today and the ministry you have today?
Darryl Strawberry: That’s a great question. Nobody’s asked me that question. But yes, the discipline that I learned to train myself in baseball to become great was the same…
